Beauty and the Beast | 
pickFinished this on #Serialreader. Interesting story line. I was so much in love with the Disney version of the story that I hated the story when I started to read, especially Beauty's character. It wasn't making any sense. After sometime I stopped complaining and this Beauty started seeming more practical...
pickThis journey through fairytales has been a fun one. Beauty is one of my favorite characters. I admire her ability to see the character within others.

pickListened to this for Translated book published before 1945.
I‘ve never heard or read the original before. I didn‘t know Belle had siblings. I like how she asked her dad for the rose and that‘s what Emma Watson asked for in the remake. This was lovely, but I definitely missed the singing and Lemiere and Cogsworth.

Day 4: Beauty (I love the art in this version!)
#coolbooks Fairytale Edition
This is also perfect for Day 4: cover love of #readingresolutions
so-soDas originale Märchen vom heutigen "Schöne und das Biest". Es ist etwas anders, und ich muss leider zugeben dass mir die neuere Version (Ohje, die Disney-Version) besser gefällt.
Okay. Beau and the Beast by Kay Simone is by far her best M/M book (that i've read. Hah) It's got the sexual tension, the fantasy elements, the proper character development that at 61% I already feel a 5 Star coming out of my review typing fingertips! Haha! Plus points for this little bit to acknowledge the beloved fairytale's problematic issues! 😂 #romantsy
"Tale as old as time..."
She traded her tiara today for this stunning, sparkling golden ensemble that is "exactly [her] taste."
Part 2 of the 14 book #bookhaul. hopefully I'll post part 3 sooner! I also went out and got more.... I can't be taken to bookshops
It took nine years of marriage but my husband finally understands how to make me happy!
A tale as old as time ..... finally saw the movie, and it was spectacular! Well done, Disney!
Kicking back at the Saturday matinee. So excited! #beourguest
One more hour until I see Hermione portray my favorite Disney character!!!
"I want adventure in the great wide somewhere..." I went to the first showing of Beauty and the Beast in my pretty low-key Belle dress tonight. I cried, I laughed, I felt so wrapped in warmth. Maybe it's nostalgia. Who knows. But I loved this movie. I'm seeing it as many times as possible.
"And if she was being honest, she tended to enjoy reading more than idle small talk-traveling to distant lands and having wondrous adventures, even if only in the pages of her favorite books."
pickI read it so many times. It's one of the most beautiful fairytales. And today it's my first time in english. 😊📙
And now I'm ready for the movie.😍🎬🎥

pickI just read the original story of Beauty and the Beast and love how Disney didn't completely change the story; the same feeling and emotions were present throughout! I was enchanted the whole tale and wish I could be as kind, generous, compassionate, and forgiving as Beauty!
🌹 Here is a quote about Beauty who spends the greatest part of her time reading good books! 🌹
I've been awol for the last few days, but this is one of my favorite birthday gifts I got last week (it's a shirt if you can't tell, sorry for the bad photography!). Yes, my mom knows me well! #beautyandthebeast #booknerd 📚🤓📚

#Jamberry nail stickers, with Belle and the Beast in reflective gold! 🌹My awesome younger sister bought them for me ☺️
Look at this beautiful bookmark! Hand painted on wood. All the way from Australia! I completely forgot that I had ordered it! Not sure if I found it on Litsy or Instagram, but I'm happy I did! #bookmark
There is many a monster who wears the form of a man; it is better of the two to have the heart of a man and the form of a monster.
I couldn't pass up this opportunity to do a #bookface for #readjanuary! There were some really awesome ones in my feed today, and it looked like fun. My collection of fairy tale retellings came in handy. Pardon the glare; it took some finagling to get most of the book into the photo.

pickVery quick read which is perfect if you're trying to get a child into reading! Beaumont took Villeneuve's original "La Belle et La Bête" and shortened it for a fairytale that children could read. Really quick and really good!
Ok I'm watching the Disney version rather than reading but I'm ill and trapped on the couch by my furbaby #catsoflitsy

I really just want all the books and a beautiful place to put them! Right now I am really coveting Harry Potter or the Codex Alera on Audible. I'd also take a new amazing series, the next Outlander book, or bookish merch!
How I feel most of the time. #ereader #seasonsreadings2016
😍💙🤗❤
Something to smile about!!
Can't wait for this!! And to see the library of course!!💓📚📚📚
Wishing everyone a great week!
I've missed a ton of these #booktober propmpts but, here we go: #characteriddressupas, Belle! I just need a Gaston or Beast to dress up with me (either one, I'm not picky!)
"Well it's my favorite! Far off places, daring sword fights, magic spells...a prince in disguise!" (Also, just finished making my Halloween costume...that's part of why I missed yesterday and phoned in today's ???) #booktober #fullofadventure
A day late, but I have to go with Belle as my #LiteraryBestFriend for #Octphotochallenge. She loves to read and has a huge library, I just want to hang out with her in that library a bit. Our book club can meet there, right?
A girl and her library! 👍📚👍
A new still of Emma Watson as Belle. I mean come on this picture is just so amazing! She is the perfect Belle.

"Yes, yes" said the Beast, "my heart is good, but still I am a monster."
"Among mankind" says Beauty, "there are many that deserve that name more than you, and I prefer you, just as you are, to those, who, under a human form, hide a treacherous, corrupt, and ungrateful heart."
